About the Three Circle Method
The programme offers a unique journey for artists to delve into the core of their passions, transforming them into compelling and multidimensional concepts for future plays or shows. Participants will embark on a journey to identify ideas that resonate with them on a personal, social, and political level.
Through the innovative three-circle method (developed by Pepa), artists will not only discover the essence of their ideas but also unravel the complexity that makes them powerful and relevant to an audience. This process will encourage participants to create a solid and captivating foundation for a future production focusing on the show’s themes rather than the final form.
Harnessing the power of improvisation skills and various devising exercises, participants will learn to propose bold and imaginative ideas while fostering a collaborative environment. The program emphasizes active listening, drawing inspiration from others, and integrating playful and truthful approaches to theatre making.
This unique program seamlessly combines training with the art of making theatre, offering participants an opportunity to discover a fresh perspective on their craft. Aspiring theatre makers will find a safe and inspiring space to transform their long-held ideas into the building blocks of a future play or show.
This programme is directed to artists of all backgrounds and experience with a particular interest in theatre making.
